Sword Ghost: Hehehe! Are we finally making a move on them?
Sword Ghost: Lord Lynn, Lord Lynn, can I have those bastards from the Tendo family?
Tendo Civil Security Corporation.
Kisara's eyes darkened as she unconsciously licked the corner of her lips.
Sigma Man: I'll leave it to you.
"Huff…"
With Lynn's approval, Kisara's breathing beca heavy and rapid.
Tendo Kikunojou...
Are you ready to go to hell?
…
Akaoka District, Shelter.
Lynn rubbed his chin, thinking about his next move.
After the slaughter of the protestors, conflict with the humans of Tokyo had beco inevitable.
But…
"It's about ti."
Lynn's eyes turned cold.
In the beginning, the cursed children were difficult to accommodate due to a lack of manpower within the Peerage.
So he had slowed his plans.
But now.
With nearly 7,000 Devils mobilized, they could sweep across the entire Tokyo region.
Even with the need for teleportation, it was still ti-consuming and exhausting.
I wonder how the cursed children in the Zombie World are progressing.
With that in mind, he opened the chat group.
Sigma Man: @Dolphin girl, how's the learning going?
When the cursed children had been transferred to the Zombie World, Lynn had deliberately left them a thick black book.
"360 Ways to Use Magic."
He specifically instructed them to focus on mastering Teleportation Magic first.
It was essential for the future relocation of cursed children.
And for the current situation.
It had been a few days now. He wasn't sure how far they had progressed.
After all, Teleportation Magic was a fairly advanced technique.
Even Mahiru and the others only had a vague understanding of it.
Only Utaha, with her [Archivist Devil] abilities, had fully mastered the magic through recorded data.
Dolphin Girl: In response to Lord Lynn's request, most are struggling to learn it.
Lynn wasn't surprised when he saw this.
But that ant…
Mass relocation would have to rely on manual transport again.
And that would increase the chance of unforeseen issues.
Just then, another ssage popped up.
Dolphin Girl: But I seem to find it easy to learn, maybe it's related to my Dolphin Factor.
Dolphin Girl: So I gathered companions with similar abilities and focused on learning together.
Dolphin Girl: Right now, we already have around a hundred mbers who've successfully mastered Teleportation Magic.
Lynn's eyes lit up as he read the ssage.
He hadn't expected the Dolphin Factor to provide a bonus to magic learning.
Nor had he expected Kayo Senju to be this sharp.
She organized a study group based on individual traits and brought together those with similar learning ability.
Brilliant!
Good job, Kayo!
Sigma Man: Excellent work, Kayo!
With over a hundred cursed children capable of casting teleportation magic.
Each one could lead a squad, enough to manage the entire Tokyo region's cursed children!
This confird it, training the first batch to lead the next generation had been the right call!
Dolphin Girl: I'm happy I could help Master Lynn.
Zombie World.
Kayo Senju stared at her phone screen, expressionless, but her lips moved ever so slightly.
Finally… I can do sothing for Master Lynn.
Elsewhere.
Midori Fuse watched the interaction between Lynn and Kayo and subconsciously bit her lip.
She wanted to help Lynn too.
But she wasn't as smart as Kayo.
In the chat group.
Lynn issued a new mission.
Sigma Man: In that case, the plan to gather the cursed children across Tokyo begins now!
Sigma Man: While you're at it, clear out any humans remaining in the Tokyo area.
Kasumigaoka Utaha: So the day's finally co?
Busujima Saeko: Hehe. I wonder if chopping people earns experience?
Though probably not…
Angel Devil: I will follow Mr. Lynn!
Master Lynn's exclusive cat: too! I'll work hard!
With Lynn's command issued, the group responded quickly.
But one person didn't seem so eager.
Seitenshi: …
Holy Residence.
She looked conflicted.
But soon, her expression hardened.
Seitenshi: Lord Lynn, please leave the task of purging the humans… to .
Sigma Man: ?
Kasumigaoka Utaha: ??
Busujima Saeko: ???
Miko: ????
Sword Ghost: Who are you and what did you do to the real Seitenshi?!
Her words sent ripples through the chat, like a stone thrown into a still lake.
Even Lynn was caught off guard.
Is this really Seitenshi?
After thinking a mont, Lynn replied.
Sigma Man: What do you plan to do?
Seitenshi pursed her lips.
Seitenshi: Once Lord Lynn has taken in all the cursed children in Tokyo.
Seitenshi: I will use the Legacy of the Seven Stars to summon a Stage V Gastrea.
After sending that ssage, she felt like all the strength had left her body.
She never imagined she'd one day be the one to plan humanity's extermination.
Sigma Man: Hooo?
Lynn's gaze flickered with amusent.
Sigma Man: Are you sure?
He hadn't expected Seitenshi to go this far.
Seitenshi: Please, Lord Lynn.
Seitenshi: Just this once, leave it to .
Seitenshi: I want to see what happens when humanity, without the cursed children to protect them, faces a world-ending Gastrea.
Seitenshi: …What will they do?
Seitenshi's expression was firm.
This was the final chance.
Maybe, when facing catastrophe, humanity would unite.
And show a glimr of their forr glory.
Maybe it would be enough to change Mr. Lynn's mind.
Of course…
If humans still proved themselves worthless…
Seitenshi: Humans infected by the Gastrea virus will also mutate into Gastrea.
Seitenshi: At that point, they'll beco EXP for the Peerage's level-ups.
Sword Ghost: …
Sword Ghost: I didn't expect you to be this ruthless!
Kisara's expression turned complicated.
Who would have thought…
The supre ruler of the Tokyo Area, humanity's last beacon of hope, and an idealist who preached coexistence between humans and cursed children.
Could be this ruthless when it ca to wiping out humanity.
She was squeezing every last bit of use out of them.
Lynn also saw the hidden intent behind Seitenshi's actions.
But…
"The humans of this world will never fail to disappoint."
Sigma Man: Very well, I approve.
Seeing Lynn's response, Seitenshi let out a long sigh of relief.
Hopefully…
Humans wouldn't disappoint her…
Otherwise, they would beco Gastrea.
Sigma Man: Before that, the Cursed Children Accommodation Plan, begins now!
The mont he said that.
A surge of light filled the shelter.
The gate to the Zombie World fully opened.
The cursed children—now Devils—were ready for battle!
